3 myths about stone
There are few generaly accepted facts stone is heavy, stone is expensive and stainfull, well this is all wrong!
- Stone is heavy (granite weights in average 60 kg/mq in 2cm thickness and 90kg/mq in 3cm thickness, there is no need for additional reinforcement of your kitchen)
- Stone is expensive (granite has its place among luxurious material but definitely does not create a category unreachable by mortals, there is enormous amount of granites some of them are cheaper some of them expensive, if you are limited by budget let us know and we will help you to find a perfect choice for you)
- Stone is resistant to stains (mostly thanks to our vacuum impregnation VIVA, which seal all pores in stone and create the impenetrable protection of your kitchen top, you also get a set to revive your impregnation)
